Astronomy Question of the Week: What happens on the Moon during a lunar eclipse?
Spacefellowship (Free subscription) | 11/23/2009
Nowadays, solar eclipses are seen as a fascinating natural phenomenon. In earlier times, people viewed them instead as something threatening, since the Sun provides us with light and heat, without which life on Earth could not flourish. However, the cause of solar eclipses is now generally known: On its orbit around the Earth, the Moon [...]

[LINK] "Habitable Moons and Kepler"
Randy McDonald's Livejournal (Free subscription) | 10/28/2009
Centauri Dreams reminds us again of just how very impressive our astronomical observational techniques are becoming. It looks like we'll soon be able to discover habitable moons of distant gas giants. The answer is that an exomoon detection depends on two measurements, neither of which demands observing the dip in starlight caused by the moon itself. What Kipping’s team is looking for is the...

Is today Jesus Christ's birthday?
Wilson's Blogmanac (Free subscription) | 09/14/2009
Perhaps we should deck the halls with boughs of spring flowers, because an English astronomer suggested that Jesus might have been born on September 15, 7 BCE. Dr David Hughes, of Sheffield University, argued that September 15 is the real Christmas for the following reasons: In the Gospel of St Luke we read that Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem because "... there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus...

Summary Of Last Week’s Influences: While events last week didn’t start to shake up the bulls’ confidence as much as I thought , the major indices did show signs that this rally is growing a bit weary. Although the indices closed at their 2009 highs Thursday and the DJIA and the S&P500 reached intraday 2009 highs on Friday, they failed to maintain it. Last Monday’s Moon in...

Lunar eclipse
Rashid's Blog (Free subscription) | 08/07/2009
A lunar eclipse is an eclipse which occurs whenever the moon passes behind the earth such that the earth blocks the sun’s rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. The type and length of [...]

Smudge
Hecate (Free subscription) | 08/07/2009
There's a full moon today and at the beginning of the full moon (in Aquarius, while the sun is in Leo -- talk about powerful) we had a lunar eclipse. I came home early today to harvest sage and thyme from the herb bed to make bundles for smudging. This weekend, I'll buy cotton embroidery thread in 4 colors: Green (Earth), Yellow (Air), Red (Fire), and Blue (Water) and will make about three sage smudge...

Lunar Eclipse last night makes us act weirdly today
Daisy's Dead Air (Free subscription) | 08/06/2009
Left: photo by NASA There was a scantily-reported lunar eclipse last night, which the moon-watchers already wrote off as no big thing. Ha! Of course it is. Twitter is already down, for example. That'll teach people to underestimate the moon! Oddly, I noticed the lunar event on my Hindu calendar; it wasn't noted on any of my "Western" calendars... The penumbral eclipse occurred at 13 degrees...

August's lunar eclipse: a time for change
A bad witch's blog (Free subscription) | 08/04/2009
It almost seems there have been so many lunar eclipses recently that they are becoming commonplace. On August 6 , people in Europe and North Africa will experience the third of four lunar eclipses in 2009. It will be a penumbral eclipse, meaning the moon will only just enter the earth's penumbral shadow, dimming the moon's edge. It won't be easy to see with the naked eye, but it will still cast its...
